Republicans are responding to district judges who have temporarily stopped President Trump’s executive actions by moving to limit or eliminate universal injunctions.
• Multiple judges have issued nationwide injunctions against Trump’s reforms based on lawsuits, leading to debates about judicial authority.
• During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Republican Chairman Chuck Grassley and others argued that judges are misusing their power by issuing broad rulings affecting parties not involved in cases.
• Jesse Panuccio, a legal expert, advocated for legislation that restricts nationwide injunctions, indicating they disrupt the balance of powers between branches of government.
• Panuccio warned against proposals to handle nationwide relief with three-judge panels, as it could normalize an unhistorical judicial practice.
• Grassley has introduced the Judicial Relief Clarification Act, aiming to require class action processes for universal relief and ban nationwide injunctions outright.
• Expert Samuel Bray supported Panuccio's view, asserting that judges lack constitutional authority to grant remedies to people not part of a case.
• Critics argue that Trump’s orders exceeded legal authority, justifying the judges’ actions.
• Stephen Vladeck stressed that instead of limiting judicial power, reforms should target how parties manipulate courts.
• Bray highlighted the bipartisan implications of changes to universal injunctions and urged a long-term perspective on the issue.
The ongoing discussion reflects deep concerns over judicial authority, executive power, and the need for legislative clarity regarding universal injunctions.
